Kigali, Rwanda – Funny story: so there we are, sitting at the Karibu restaurant in downtown Kigali. Apparently, it’s an extremely popular spot for lunch among locals and foreigners alike, feeding approximately 1,000 people a day. Think Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, Africa edition.
I’m enjoying the nice buffet with a full plate (in Rwanda, one serving only, please) of fried cauliflower, beef, carrot salad, fried plantains, spaghetti and a few other things, wondering if the clouds that hang over the city are going to bear rain. And something on the television in the corner of the restaurant catches my attention.
The programme features interviews with researchers speaking about tornadoes, hurricanes and extreme winds. Seems basic enough until I realize it’s a programme I’ve helped BBC and Discovery Channel pull together that includes researchers involved with the “Three Little Pigs” project at The University of Western Ontario.

And that I’m in it.
